THE SECOND COMING AND ROCK AND ROLL –
Page Thirty-Three
So you had your first experience of an evangelical church and began socializing with people who knew the same Jesus you knew. You were taught about the Antichrist and the description of the Antichrist sounded just like Father Geidman. Earlier, on page 22, you described your first apparition of Jesus as being like Father Geidman. So, in essence, are you saying that the Antichrist is Father Geidman? And that Father Geidman and Jesus are Twins? Further, on page 13 (1971) you said that Jesus told you that Father Geidman is God the Father. And again on page 46 (1993) you said you heard a voice confirm that Father Geidman is God the Father. So, again, it sounds like you are saying that:
Father Geidman=God the Father=The Antichrist
(1) Father Geidman is God the Father
(2) Father Geidman is the Antichrist (3) God the Father is the Antichrist
(4) Father Geidman and Jesus are Twins
(5) God the Father and Jesus are Twins (6) The Antichrist and Jesus are Twins

Does Jesus Christ Have a Twin? Part One
David Asscherick - 2007
The following is a synopsis of the video above entitled "Does Jesus Christ Have a Twin?" Part One.
One of the most misunderstood and yet most important topics in the Bible is the issue of the Antichrist. The Antichrist, right now, is one of the most dangerous persons and dangerous powers on earth, and yet he is largely undetected. We are going to seek to pull back that veil and pull back that covering that causes him to be undisclosed and unexposed. We will be unveiling and disclosing who and what the Antichrist is.
Jesus says that He is greater than the Temple (the Priests) Matt.12:6. Jesus says that He is greater than the greatest Prophet; Matt. 12:39-41. Jesus says that He is greater than the greatest King; Matt. 12:42. These three roles that Jesus performs as the incarnate God for the believer is Priest, Prophet and King. A Priest is someone who ministers for God. Jesus is qualified to minister for God as Priest. A Prophet is someone who speaks for God. Jesus is qualified to speak for God as Prophet. A King is someone who rules for God. Jesus is qualified to rule for God as King.
'Anti' means 'instead of' or 'as a substitution'. Anti does not necessarily mean against or a violent opposer, but instead means one who stands in place of, as a substitute, more than as an opponent. So the antichrist is not someone who opposes Christ. The antichrist is not someone who despises Christ. The antichrist is not someone who denies Christ. The antichrist is not someone who rejects Christ. The antichrist is not someone who denounces Christ. Scripture says (Revelation 13:3) all the world accepted the antichrist. And if all the world accepted the antichrist, this would include all Christians. Christians would never receive or accept anyone who was against Christ. But Christians (included in all the world) would accept someone who is like Christ, who is in the place of Christ, who is a substitute for Christ; namely, the antichrist. The antichrist is someone who is on the same team as Christ. The antichrist is someone who is in the inner circle of Christians.
In 2 Thessalonians 2:3 Paul is talking about the antichrist. The antichrist here is the 'lawless one' or the 'son of perdition'. The 'son of perdition' is mentioned in only one more place in scripture; John 17:12. Here the son of perdition is Judas. So the son of perdition is identified as the antichrist in 2 Thessalonians 2:3, and as Judas in John 17:12. The antichrist and Judas both carry the same title, 'son of perdition'. Judas was on the same team as Jesus. He was in the inner circle with the disciples, not as an outward violent oppressor, but as an inward subtle betrayer. Judas was not a violent opposer of Jesus. Judas did not deny Jesus as the Messiah. Judas did not despise Jesus. Judas did not reject Jesus. But Judas betrayed Jesus, with a kiss, not with force. Judas was giving the outward appearance that he was on the same side as Jesus, while he was working underhandedly to undermine the ministry of Jesus. Judas was divorced from the apostles in his association with Jesus. Judas was formally in a favorably relationship with the disciples. Just like Judas who betrayed Jesus from within the circle of disciples, the antichrist will come from within and appear as a subtle imposter of Jesus, not a violent opposer.
As mentioned earlier the three offices of Jesus are Priest, Prophet and King. He ministers for God as Priest, He speaks for God as Prophet, and He rules for God as King. If the antichrist is going to fit as a subtle imposter of Jesus, then he is a person who claims to minister for God as a Priest, who speaks for God as a Prophet, and who rules for God as a King. We are looking for a subtle power who will seek to stand in the place of Christ, not over and against Christ, but as a substitute for Christ, who claims to be God's voice on earth, God's priest on earth, and God's kingdom on earth.
Jesus is usually portrayed in portraits (aside from crucifixion portraits) as a warm, calm, kind, forgiving, loving and peaceful individual. Revelation 13 portrays the antichrist as having the body of a leopard, the feet of a bear, the mouth of a lion, and ten horns. This is a grotesque image so unlike the image of Jesus. It is hard to imagine how there could be a similarity or a harmony between these two images. Nevertheless, there is a significant set of similarities between these two individuals.
There is a very common and powerful theme that saturates the book of Revelation; the counterfeit motif. We will look at only one counterfeit motif, the counterfeiting of Jesus Christ by His imposter, the Antichrist. We will note eight very powerful significant elements from the ministry of Jesus and show how they are counterfeited in the ministry and mission of the Antichrist.
1. Jesus begins His ministry to save and reconcile by rising from the water after being baptized; Matt.3:16. The Antichrist begins his mission to deceive and destroy by rising from the water; Revelation 13:1. The water here is symbolic and represents peoples, nations, languages, and multitudes.
2. Jesus resembles the Father; John 14:9 and Hebrews 1:8. The Antichrist resembles Satan. In Revelation 2:3 the dragon here is Satan. He has seven heads, ten horns and seven crowns. Likewise in Revelation 13:1, the antichrist has seven heads, ten horns and ten crowns.
3. In post resurrection appearances Jesus is depicted as having horns (strength) and crowns (kingly); Revelation 5:6 (horns) and Revelation 19:12 (crowns). This is His claim to Kingly power. The Antichrist is depicted as having horns and crowns in Revelation 12:3.
4. Jesus receives His authority from His Father; Matt. 28:18. The Antichrist receives his authority from Satan; Revelation 13:2.
5. Jesus' ministry lasted 3 1/2 years, from the fall of 27 A.D. to the Spring of 31 A.D. The Antichrist's mission will last 3 1/2 years; Revelation 13:5.
6. Jesus was slain (Matt. 27:50) and resurrected (Matt. 28:6). The Antichrist will be slain (wounded) and resurrected (healed); Revelation 13:3.
7. Jesus receives worship following resurrection; Matt. 28:17. The Antichrist receives worship; Revelation 13:3 and 13:8.
8. Jesus claims universal dominion; Matt. 28:18. The Antichrist claims universal dominion; Revelation 13:7.

Does Jesus Christ Have a Twin? Part Two
David Asscherick - 2007
The following is a synopsis of the video above entitled "Does Jesus Christ Have a Twin?" Part Two
The Antichrist will not appear as a violent political oppressor, but as a subtle religious imposter. Satan will use the antichrist as a front-man in order to obtain worship for himself. The longing desire of Satan's heart has been, since the inception and inauguration of his rebellion, to receive the worship, praise and adoration of other beings. Satan wants worship; Isaiah 14:12. He wants his throne to be greater than the throne of God. This intoxicating desire to receive worship reached its pathetic, ridiculous, and insane climax in Matthew Chapter Four when Satan tempted Jesus, the creator of the universe, to bow down and worship a created being.
Satan gives the Antichrist his power, his throne, and his great authority. Satan hands it over to the Antichrist. Why is Satan willing to give his authority away? (Rev. 13:3-4). Satan is being worshiped through the Antichrist. When the Antichrist is worshiped, it is actually Satan who is receiving the worship, through the Antichrist, the puppet master. Satan is smart enough to know that no Christian would worship him. So he sets up a religious figure, so that when you worship the religious figure, Satan is being worshiped indirectly through the Antichrist. You are actually worshiping Satan through the Antichrist. This way Satan gets the very desire of his heart, the worship of other beings.
The little horn of Daniel Seven and the Antichrist beast of Revelation 13 are the same. Daniel Seven describes the characteristics of the little horn power. If we can identify who the little horn power is, then we know for sure who the Antichrist is. The characteristics of the little horn power in Daniel Seven are:
1. This power is a little horn. Horn represents kingdom, so we are looking for a small kingdom. The Vatican is a small kingdom.
2. Comes up from among them. 'Them' is the nations of Western Europe. The Antichrist comes up from among one of these nations. The Vatican is in Italy, a Europe nation.
3. Comes up after them. Comes up after the Fall of Rome in 476 AD and after the Roman Church-State (The Vatican) comes to power in 538 AD.
4. Plucks up (destroys) three horns (three kingdoms). Three nations (former Arian tribes, the Heuels, the Vandals, the Osttogoths) were destroyed by the Vatican because they did not
believe Jesus was God. This doctrine was known as Arianism. The Vatican destroyed these three kingdoms.
5. Power is diverse. Power is set apart. It is a Geo-religico political power. It is both a Church and a State. The Vatican is both Church and State.
6. Man at Head. The Vatican has the Pope as the head of the Catholic Church.
7. Horn Blasphemes. Claims to be God. Claims to forgive sins. Persecutes people of God in the name of God. The Vatican Catholic Church has done all this.
8. Persecuting Power. The Vatican Catholic Church had power to persecute anyone who did not become a Catholic.
9. Change law and time of God. The Vatican Catholic Church changed the day of worship from Saturday to Sunday and changed the second commandment.
10. Rules 1,260 years. The Vatican was established in 538 AD and continued to be in power until 1798 when the Pope was removed from the throne.
There is only one power that meets all these identifying characteristics. The Roman Catholic Church-State; The Vatican. The Vatican is the little horn and was universally recognized as the little horn of Daniel 7 and 8 by the Protestant Reformation and as the Antichrist Power.
End of "Does Jesus Christ have a Twin?" Part Two.
If Jesus Christ does have a twin he would:
1. Have to meet the qualifications of Priest, (someone who ministers for God), Prophet, (someone who speaks for God) and King (someone who rules and governs for God).
A Roman Catholic Priest meets the qualifications of Priest, Prophet and King. A Roman Catholic Priest is someone who ministers for God (Priest), speaks for God (Prophet), and rules and governs for God (King-rule by the Pope). A Roman Catholic Priest is qualified to minister for God as Priest, speak for God as Prophet, and rule and govern for God as King. A Roman Catholic Priest is qualified to exercise the government of God and rule for God by the authority of the Pope.
2. Have to be just like Jesus. He would have to act like Jesus, speak like Jesus, and walk like Jesus. Although any Roman Catholic Priest meets all the qualifications of Priest, Prophet and King, only one Roman Catholic Priest meets the qualifications of Priest, Prophet and King, and acts like Jesus, speaks like Jesus, and walks like Jesus. And that Roman Catholic Priest is none other than Father Geidman.
3. Have to be a Roman Catholic Priest. Father Geidman is a Roman Catholic Priest.
4. Have to be God the Father in the Flesh (John 10:30). Father Geidman is God the Father in the Flesh. If Jesus and the Father are One, they would be twins. They would be just like each other. And Jesus and Father Geidman are just like each other.
I
continued with school, continued to work part time and continued to see the
psychologist. He moved his office in either July or August of 1973. It was then
that I noticed that every time I had an appointment with him the weather was
always nice. Even if there were several inches of snow the day before my
appointment, the roads were always clear the next day for me to drive to my
appointment.
Jesus was still communicating to
me thorough songs I heard on the radio. I had lost Kurt and I began to
associate less and less with my circle of friends at the church because I felt
they were ‘weirding me out.’ The Jesus Movement, which supposedly began in
1967, was sweeping across the country and my friends and I attended concerts
associated with this movement. I was baptized at one of the Jesus Festivals we
attended (either in the summer of 1972 or 1973). This 1970's Hippy Jesus People
Movement was the greatest period of revival in modern history. The 1970's was a major
turning point in Christiandom's history where the apostasy went from a "gentile"
event, into a full swing nose-dive that it is today.
A development during this era
was the institution of Jesus Music, a combination of Rock and Roll Music and
Gospel Music. The mainstream media did not focus in on this phenomenon until
1971. In 1973 former Calvary Chapel Pastor Kenn Gulliksen was beginning a string
of Bible studies that would culminate in the Vineyard Churches. John Wimber
later joined the group of churches started by Kenn Gulliksen and later
developed the Association of Vineyard Churches. The Vineyard Movement was a
direct result of the Jesus Movement, the phenomenon which swept the country
from 1967-1979 (some sources say until the mid 1970’s). I was caught up in that
movement and moved closer to Jesus during this time in my life. I felt I really did not have any friends after
I left my friends in the dust. So I continued to live my life through songs I
heard on the radio. I was ‘Angie Baby’ in this next song.
